+Attributes to Properties
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+If the sync response includes user attributes, they will be synced into the
+matching user property in the `user.cfg`. For example: `firstname` or
+`lastname`.
+
+If the names of the attributes are not matching the {pve} properties, you can
+set a custom field-to-field map in the config by using the `sync_attributes`
+option.
+
+How such properties are handled if anything vanishes can be controlled via the

   want to see which users and groups would get synced to the `user.cfg`.
